Performances are slated 10:30 a.m. Wednesdays through Aug. 13 at Linden Tree, 265 State St.

Event manager Dee Ellman said the concert series is a way to connect with the community. Although admission is free, Ellman encourages attendees to donate a book to benefit Reading Partners, a local literacy organization that matches one-on-one tutors with students who have fallen behind in reading.
